By Richard D. McMilla United Press War Correspondent Bayeux, Allied Front Line, Normandy, June 7 (U.R) I toured the Allied front in Nor mandy all day today and en tered this historic town of Bay eux with the first Allied troops who occupied it at midday. It was a scene of rejoicing as the populace went wild and dashed through the narrow streets throwing flowers and cry ing, "God save the king. We've waited for this day. On to Paris!" Cheer In Street The streets were blocked with cheering men, women -and chil dren. The Tri-Color and Union Jacks hung from the windows. Cafes threw open their doors and pianists began to play Brit ish and French patriotic tunes as the crowds danced, shouting I "Vive Tommy. Vive Amerique. It was a scene of mingled war iand peace through which I passed as I drove a jeep into the interior along part of the front line and then back again to the Allied coastal area. After a dusty, dreary morning the sun burst through and the skies cleared. Havoc was wrought by allied naval and air bombardment. , which had wrecked some roads and many hamlets which the Germans had used as head quarters. Some villages were entirely deserted; in others some civil ians remained and rushed out with cluching hands, screaming for joy. One village woman, Madame Andre Nicholas told me: Germans Wicked "Oh! the Germans were wick ed. They took everything we had. Recently Rommel came to this village on a visit of German coast defenses. The Nazis turned out in force. Rommel told them 'these positions are impregna ble." We knew he was lying be cause most German troops told i Us frankly 'the British and Americans are now too strong i for us. But we'll fight on never theless until the last man." Along the country lanes sub dued looking German prisoners streamed toward prison cages : near the beaches. Allied artillery was posted amidst Flanders pop pies in the field pounded by the enemy beyond Bayeux. British and German dead lay in the sunlight on the road shoulders. In the fields peasants i tended their sheep and cattle as if this day were no different j than any other. Allied war ma- j chines rolled past along the dusty highways, but the only sign the ; stolid peasants gave was a wave of the hand. j It was townspeople like those of Bayeux who really showed appreciation repeating again and I again "C'est le jour de la libera- 1 Daily Weather Report Forvra.ls l Medford and vicinity: Partly cloudy ' with scattered showers In higher mountains tonight and Saturday.
